4-I guide
Allah only delays it until a set time.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Does a delay mean something won't happen?"
falasik has a short Hud clip of Mishary Alafasy reciting ayat 96–109. Play it all.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Until when is the Day delayed?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah set a time for everything?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Hud is surah 11. Find ayah 104. Allah has fixed a time for the Day of Judgment. Only He knows it. Its delay is a chance for us to do good while we can.
Fact: Luqman 31:34 says only Allah knows when the Hour comes. Read it.
Ages 5–8: Set times. Talk about things that happen at set times, like prayer times.
Ages 9–12: Use time well. Write how to use the time before the Day well.
Finish with: "Luqman 31:34 says only Allah knows ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will pray each prayer on time."
Action: Pray each prayer on time.
